Orchard View at The Coach House, The Cotswolds

An adults-only, handcrafted glamping retreat in the Cotswolds, set within a quarter-acre orchard and designed for romantic stays, minimoons and special occasions, complete with hot tub, private sauna and beautifully considered outdoor living.

Hidden away within its own quarter-acre orchard, Orchard View – referred to by the owners as ‘the iglu in the orchard’ – is a serene retreat made for slowing down and switching off. This handcrafted Igluhut blends natural wood, soft greenery and warm textures, creating a space that feels connected to the landscape rather than set apart from it. With open views across the surrounding countryside – and glimpses towards the Malvern Hills on clear days – it’s a setting that feels both peaceful and quietly special.

Designed exclusively for adults, the retreat is ideal for couples looking to escape the everyday. Days are unhurried, shaped by fresh air and time outdoors, while evenings revolve around the glow of festoon lights, the warmth of the sauna and the comfort of sinking into the hot tub under the stars. Whether you’re celebrating a minimoon, marking a special occasion or simply carving out time together, this is a stay that invites you to linger.

Your hosts, Danny & Adey live on site, adding a gentle, welcoming presence, and their small flock of hens completes the sense of rural calm – without ever intruding on your privacy.
